Vancouver Facial Plastic Surgery
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 68.4/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #7 of 10 ranked clinics · last checked 29 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Facial plastic surgery practice operating out of a private non-hospital surgical facility in Vancouver. Responsible surgeon named with role and tied to this address; a second named surgeon practises at the same facility. Both are matched by name in the official British Columbia physician register under a related surgical specialty. The facility is separately listed in the official non-hospital surgical facility accreditation list under the same address and one of the named physicians as director. A legal entity for one of the named physicians is disclosed in the site's own privacy policy; no match was found for it in the federal corporate register.
